The Green Bay Packers lost their biggest weapon when they traded Davante Adams to Vegas. Maybe the Raiders will return the favor.
The Packers are pursuing a trade for Raiders star Darren Waller, per a report.
Green Bay tried to include Waller in the trade that saw Adams go to Vegas, but league rules prevented it. The Packers aren’t giving up, though.
Could Waller be Green Bay’s next star in the Aaron Rodgers passing attack?
“After not being able to get it done in the Davante Adams deal due to league rules- the Packers are continuing to pursue a trade for Raiders star TE Darren Waller, sources tell @AaronNagler via @cheeseheadtv,” CheeseheadTV tweeted.

This would certainly ease the pain of losing Adams to Vegas. Waller is one of the top pass-catching tight ends in the country. He caught 55 passes for 665 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games last season. He was even better in 2021 and 2020, both of which he went for over 1,000 yards.
Should the Packers go all-in to acquire the Raiders’ star tight end?
NFL fans are discussing the idea on Twitter.
This would be… fricken sweet. https://t.co/EEuEw4Byeg

If the Packers are going to actually make a move for Waller, it’ll probably occur this week ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Keep an eye out here. Green Bay would love nothing more than to ease the pain of losing Adams. It’d be fitting if the Packers turned around and took Waller from the Raiders.
